We Love Reading
In our class, we know how important reading is to help us learn and we follow a reading scheme in our school called Read, Write, Inc. We each have a home reading folder to bring our books home in every day and a yellow reading record. We enjoy reading at home and know how important it is to practise with our parents/carers regularly to help us become successful readers.
A note from the teacher: Please ensure that your child brings their home reading folder back to school every day and remember to enjoy spending some time listening to your child read each day.
Spring 1 2025-26
In this topic, we learned about life in Ancient Egypt and why it was important. We started our topic with a workshop delivered by teh Creative Learning Services. We discovered where Ancient Egypt was located and why the River Nile was so important to the people who lived there. We learned about pharaohs, pyramids, and gods and goddesses, and explored what everyday life was like for children and families. We examined artefacts and pictures to help us understand how people lived in the past. By the end of the topic, we were able to describe key features of Ancient Egyptian life and explain why this civilisation is still remembered today.
Autumn 2 2025-26
In this topic, we learned all about rivers and why they are important. We found out where rivers come from, how they flow, and where they end. We learned new words such as source, mouth, bank, and channel, and used maps and pictures to help us understand how rivers shape the land. We explored how people, plants, and animals use rivers and discovered why rivers are important for water, transport, and wildlife. By the end of the topic, we were able to name the main features of a river and explain why rivers matter to our world.
Autumn 1 2025-26
This term, our class has been travelling back in time to the Stone Age! We’ve been learning all about how early humans lived, hunted, and survived thousands of years ago. The children explored how people made tools and weapons from stone, built shelters, and discovered how fire changed their lives.
Through hands-on activities, we created our own cave art, designed Stone Age jewellery, and investigated what life might have been like in a prehistoric village. We also learned how archaeologists find out about the past by studying artefacts and fossils.
